Thanks to: (see below)
!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!
"Come again?" Omi questioned, eyes coldly locked upon the redhead who stared back at him with something rather suspicious bubbling inside those pools of amethyst.
"You have to help me find him. "
The younger boy shifted slightly and kept his eyes narrowed, arms crossed and tension floating around him in a thick and nearly visible haze. He was absolutely livid and plots of homicide were clearly running through the gears inside his head. Ran was sure that if it weren't for the fact that he was the key to the situation, Bombay would have taken it upon himself to single handedly execute his sempai.
"You left him in the hands of Schuldig, how do you even know if he's alive or not, Ran." The words were meant to hurt from an anger sharper than broken glass.
"I ran into Schuldig the other day..."
"What?" The kid was obviously caught off guard a little, "So now you're having leisurely rendezvous with the enemy as well?"
Ran swore under his breath and straightened a little, wishing the alcohol would just burn off already. He was tired of being intoxicated.
"No! When I was out grocery shopping, he was there. It was by chance that we ran into each other and..." Ran felt as frustrated as he looked, red in the face from embarrassment, anger and liquor.
"And what?" Bombay snapped, having no patience for his teammate's inebriated tale.
"And he started talking about Yohji." Omi gave him a blank look that clearly stated his thoughts. The kid hadn't made the "logical" leap of assumption, which meant Ran was going to have to fill in the blanks. Or at least attempt to. Explaining things was jumbling his thoughts and causing his head to hurt. Ran decided that he was never going to touch a drop of alcohol again.
"He was talking in the present tense. He referred to Yohji as being alive and he... seemed very intent on keeping him alive."
The blond arched an eyebrow at that, "What makes you say that?"
"He likes Yohji."
"Liking someone doesn't ensure their existence, Ran."
Ran sighed very quietly to himself, he didn't have the heart to fully explain it to the kid. He didn't want to disgrace Yohji by telling Bombay that Mastermind was out there fucking their teammate senseless and probably had every intent to do so for some time to come. At least until he got bored of Balinese, which was exactly why they had to hurry up and find him.
"Please, trust me..." Ran damn well knew he was asking for a lot just then. Especially after he got done telling his superior that he already betrayed his own team. "Schuldig is going to keep him around for a little while longer but however long that is... I don't know. That's why we have to hurry, that's why I need your help. Get revenge on me later for this but for now, let's just focus on finding Yohji."
Whether it was the sincere look on Abyssinian's face, the truth in his words or the sheer hopelessness of the situation, Omi gave. It was apparent in the way his shoulder's dropped and a bit of the edge was taken off his stern features. He wasn't going to kill Ran, at least not today.
"Fine. You said you ran into him at the grocery store? Was he shopping or just there?"
Ran closed his eyes and did his best to recall the events of that day. He felt sick again. "He was shopping... and surprised to see me."
"So that means if he was shopping he must be staying near by..."
The redhead silently thanked the gods for blessing Omi with a brilliant mind.
"I'm going to start a search on the buildings within walking distance of this area. I'll see if I can find any apartments that have been recently leased out. From there we're going to start surveillance work. I'll get Ken to-" The younger boy paused when he noticed the sober look slap across his teammate's face. Oh... that was going to be a problem.
"Relax." Omi frowned, glancing towards his motorcycle still parked at the gate. "For now, most of this will be kept between you and I. Once we have Yohji-kun back, I'll decide on a proper punishment. It simply wont due to have Ken or anyone else trying to kill you when you're the only one who has any kind of contact with Schuldig. "
Ran wasn't exactly sure whether or not to be relieved. He was grateful that Omi was intent on helping him fix his mistake AND keep his secret (for now) but he couldn't quit shake the impending doom looming over his head. He was fucked, he knew it but... he deserved it.
"Sober up then meet me back at the Koneko. If you're not there in an hour then I won’t hesitate to tell Manx and the others what has really been going on. Do I make myself clear?"
Nodding, Ran stood up and prayed for a fast recovery. An hour wasn't going to be enough time to fully sober up and drive his sorry ass back to the flower shop but he wasn't about to argue with the angry teenager before him. He simply didn't have THAT much of a death wish.
"Good. I'll see you in an hour." With that said, the real leader of Weiss turned upon his heel and stormed back to his bike in silence.
In spite of the fact that his future was starting to look bleak, Ran couldn't help but feel a strange sense of relief wash over him. They were going to get Yohji back. Omi wouldn't let him or anyone else rest until then, and that was something of a comforting thought.
The sounds of a motorcycle being forced into motion broke up the thickened silence of the air in the graveyard, causing Ran to jump a little. He had less than an hour to sober up, drive home and prepare himself for one hell of a long day with no sleep and little to no sympathy for it. Omi was going to be the perfect ruthless driving force that Ran knew he could be, and he'd be damned twice over if said he wasn't grateful for it.
~*~
Interestingly enough, Ken had been awake when Omi came storming in through the garage door swearing up a storm that would put any sailor to shame. Since the notice of Yohji's death reached his ears, the soccer player had developed an acute form of insomnia. It was like his body insisted on staying up until it heard the familiar sounds of a certain playboy sauntering into the koneko singing a rather obnoxious American song (off key) at some ungodly hour of the morning.
Ken supposed it was his way of dealing with the grief and that it would take time to adjust to the silence. However, for now he conceded to staying up late and watching old movies that he and Yohji had often made fun of when they were stuck at home with nothing better to do. He was really going to miss doing that. He was really going to miss Yohji.
Nothing was going to be the same without him ever again.
Sure, they could get a new teammate and sure they could form a new functioning team but no one could ever replace that lazy blond man or the hole he left behind in his place. The grief was so intense that the brunette honestly had to wonder if there was ever a "getting over it". If the pain ever ended and the healing ever began. Loosing Keskei hadn't hurt this bad so why Yohji? Of all people he had lost before, why was Yohji's death the most painful?
Maybe it was because Yohji, like Omi, had been through hell and back with him. Had been one of the people to piece his cracking mind back together and held him safe inside sanity when dementia was leaking through his barriers. Who knew? There were so many questions that went unanswered...
... one of them being where the hell had Omi gone and why was he just NOW coming back in a fit of rage?
"Om-" Ken started, only to stop when the younger of the two glared daggers at him. Woah. What was HE so worked up about?
"Oi! Sorry Ken-kun, I went out for a drive to... work off some of my stress." That was when Bombay started hand signing to his partner.('Meet me in my room.')
Ken arched an eyebrow, "Perhaps you should lay down." ('Why?')
"That, would be nice. Could... you come with me? I don't feel well and I might need help up the stairs or something." ('It's not safe here. People might be listening')
"Sure thing Chibi." ('Bugs?')
The kid nodded and said nothing more as he headed for the stairs. Feeling more than a little unnerved by the conversation, the jock followed his leader up the stairs and into the sanctuary of the kid's bedroom. Omi's room was probably the safest room in the whole building. Safe from bugs, safe from intruders, safe from... well, just about any other man-caused problem short of the building collapsing. And even then...
"What's going on? What are we not sharing with our friends at Kritiker?" Something defiantly wasn't right, Omi was very pro-kritiker so whatever was wrong had to be serious.
"Ken, sit down." The soccer player looked Omi for a long moment and did as he was told, saying nothing as the small blond took in a deep breath and look him straight in the eye.
"Aya and I have good reason to believe that Yohji is still alive."
Ken blinked twice.
What. The. Hell.
TBC
!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!
Zelda-13 - Oh thank you, I'm glad people liked this and weren't too thrown off by it. That was my main concern and ummm I'll try not to make you cry ^^;
Forsaken - Thank you!!! That chapter sat for a long time and marinated in my computer so I was hopping it would be as good as the rest, glad I didn't disappoint.
Tygrrlyli - Yeah, Schu isn't exactly the most patient of people so I'm surprised he held out as long as he did too. And thank you, I tried to make the whole thing as fairly realistic as I could so... there wont be any "Omg I love despite what you've done!" bull. In fact, it may take Yohji a while to get over this but then again... hmmm we'll see. Much stuff still to come.
Jukebox_csi - Ummm I'm not sure that Schu is the regretting type but we'll see how his character plays out. Sorry I've been so slow with posting, I'll try to pick up the pace. ^_^;
Skippys Cat - YAY! It IS you! ^__^ You know... I really want to write a SchuxYohji piece simply cause I secretly love that pairing a lot but merrr.. I don't know if this fic is going to turn in that direction but... who knows! I don't even know how long this piece is going to be so we'll see what happens. @_@;;
Moon without a Sun - I know! Poor Yohji, I just wanna hug him o.o;
Darkness Eternal - Thank you! It was a difficult balance to not gloss over or pick on certain details but it appears as if I did it alright. Much to my reielf I must say lol
Rosemarykiss - I know but it'll get better :) Promise.
Heta Noitio - Much love for you! Thank you for reviewing so in depth, I sincerely appreciate it. And while I love all my reviews and reviewers, I have a special place of adoration for those who go into detail. So, in other words, thank you, thank you and thank you some more! Also, I'll tell Nix you enjoyed her Aya-chan. We were both rather pleased with the way she came out cause normally, I don't like the use of her in fics either. However for this story, she was needed and probably will be needed in the future. We'll see. Thanks again for reviewing!
